Lyrics
If our dreams don’t come true
I’ve been walking around this city Feeling down about you Since I got back from the troubles I can’t find a trace of you Well they said I wouldn’t feed you Or buy you fancy shoes But the things that I stole for me, I stole for you Forgive me baby, if our dreams don’t come true I was standing on the platform When I saw her walking by All tongue-tied and shackled To a new man by her side She was nothing to me darling Just something I had to do And the love that I gave to her, I’d give to you Forgive me baby, if our dreams don’t come true There was a light over the hillside When I first set eyes on you Something waiting past the corners Oh so innocent and so true Could we get back to it darling? Start anew? And the things that I did for me, I’ll do for you Forgive me baby, if our dreams don’t come true |
Clarion Field
It was a very long time In a single day An empty house Nothing left to say I looked at you You spoke to me And the words flowed out For eternity… Across Clarion Field With the horseshoe trees So close and yet so far from me You saved my life And now you’ve gone But I won’t cry because life moves on It was such a long end To a younger life And tragedy Cuts like a knife When you lose your love Along the way Cos you never tried So she went away… To Clarion Field With the horseshoe trees So close and yet so far from me You saved my life And now you’ve gone But I won’t cry because life moves on Calling out a different name Screaming out how love has changed Maybe you’ll find something that stays Now it’s slipped away So those days are gone And you sing a different song Just take what’s yours and carry on Like you do Now from this place Can’t you see? There’s nothing Where you used to be And it got me down, yeah It made me sigh But in my heart You never died |
One Good Thing
Tell me one thing that I’ve done lately That doesn’t come back to haunt me. Tell me one thing that I’ve done girl That doesn’t come back to taunt me. If I can do one thing baby If I can stand and fight If I can do one good thing And make it all alright You know there were others back then But you’re the one I loved So I’m sorry I can’t help you now But I’m glad you thought I could If I can do one thing baby Well I might be forgiven If I do this one good thing Find a way to heaven Don’t know why these things are happening now Don’t know why I’m turning inward When she left I felt abandoned and afraid and angry Though she taught me love is endless Love is endless Now at night I hit the streets City bars are waiting And it’s so hard to be all alone But the ties are slowly breaking See, if I can do one thing baby And hold this thing together If I do this one good thing We might last forever |
Pretty Baby
Ooee baby You drive me crazy So crazy I’m just hanging on for you Ooee baby You drive me crazy So crazy I’m just hanging on for you And sometimes I think that I get it right And sometimes I think I’m going to lose this fight So I say Ooee baby I’m holding on for you This pretty lady Came walking down my street Rings on her fingers and high heels on her feet This pretty lady Came walking down my street So I’m looking in windows Hiding my face Can’t find the words to speak And sometimes I feel that I get it right And sometimes I feel I’m going to lose this fight So I say Ooee baby I’m holding on for you Cos you drive me crazy I’m holding on for you And sometimes I think that I get it right And sometimes I feel I’m going to lose this fight So I say Pretty baby, I’m holding on for you Pretty baby, I’m holding on… I’m holding on |
Georgia
Before I got to Georgia I was running scared Rain on my back and loneliness, I was all alone I was watching out for the signs Now I got to Georgia I ain’t going home Man, I worked my fingers to the bone Doing my job to pay for what I own Hey, if I could’ve changed it man I would But before I got to Georgia I wasn’t doing too good She took the time to change me Change me like she could She took the time to hear me And healed me for good Cos by the time I got to Georgia I was running scared Rain on my back like all the things I felt inside But hey I don’t want to do this all alone But before I got to Georgia I was on my own Rain on my back, running scared and all alone Now I got to Georgia I ain’t going home |
